At this moment, more and more Drukhari / Dark Aeldari surrounded them. Grefax held a dueling sword in one hand and a Bolter in the other, stalemating them...
"Hmph~ Are you very good at fighting? What's the use of being good at fighting? To get by, you need connections and background!" The Dark Eldar boss said mockingly. As a minor executive of the "Cabal" that controlled Commorragh, he also had some subordinates.
Before the Dark Eldar boss finished speaking, a golden light fell from the gloomy sky of Commorragh like a meteor. With a huge roar, the golden light landed precisely in front of him.
"Hmph! What dares to hit me..." The Dark Eldar boss was about to curse when he felt his head grabbed by a powerful hand, and then his entire body was lifted without any resistance.
The newcomer was a woman in golden armor, with pure white wings unfurled behind her, emitting a blazing holy light. The majesty and power pressed down on the surrounding Drukhari / Dark Aeldari, leaving them stunned in place, even losing the courage to retreat.
"You... who are you!?" The Dark Eldar boss struggled to shout, but as soon as the words left his mouth, his head was slammed directly onto the ground by the golden-armored woman.
Boom—!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the ground instantly cracked, and countless fissures spread like a spiderweb. The Dark Eldar boss's face was smashed into the ground, and his remaining brain tissue, eyeballs, and a few teeth flew out with the impact.
The surrounding Drukhari / Dark Aeldari were all frozen in place, no one dared to move.
"I don't need to tell you who I am," Celestine said coldly, her voice echoing like thunder, "But you'd best remember, no matter how powerful your backing, it won't stop your death today."
(Celestine: I can't beat Angron, but I can beat you, right?)
At this moment, several Las-fire shots came from a distance, instantly knocking down a group of Dark Eldar who wanted to rush forward... And in the distance was Eliette, aiming with an Eldar sniper rifle... Soon, the group cleaned up these Dark Eldar. Li Feng originally thought it would cause a big commotion, but there was no reaction from the surroundings.
After all, what just happened, in the "talent-rich" Commorragh, could only be considered a "street brawl."
However, after the battle ended... Grefax looked at the strange Battle Sisters with wings, the odd Eldar with that kind of sniper rifle, and the red-skinned, half-paralyzed, one-eyed Ogryn on the ground... This caused many doubts in her heart, having been locked in Trazyn's cube for over a millennium... Throughout the entire Imperium, the only institution she would never doubt or investigate was the Adeptus Custodes, because she knew they would never betray The Emperor of Mankind.
Ironically, Grefax was an atheistic Inquisitor, and even more ironically, this actually brought her closer to The Emperor of Mankind's ideals than anyone else in the Inquisition.
"Never mind that Eldar and the red-skinned Ogryn... Witch! What's going on with you?"
Celestine, who was whispering to Li Feng at the moment, suddenly heard the long-haired, 'iron-T' over there seem to be calling her. She looked left and right with a puzzled expression, then pointed to herself with her hand... "Are you calling me?"
Seeing Celestine's puzzled expression, Grefax became even angrier. She walked directly in front of this "golden witch" and immediately asked:
"Who are you! Why do you dare to openly and brazenly wear and use the mark of the Holy Emperor!"
Facing a question like, "Master, what do you do for a living?" Celestine was momentarily stumped... Seeing Celestine looking a bit bewildered, Li Feng explained at this moment:
"Inquisitor, this is Saint Celestine, former Grand Nun of the Battle Sisters, current Living Saint of the Imperium, a manifestation of The Emperor of Mankind's miracles, with multiple certifications from the Imperial Palace, High Lords, Ecclesiarchy, and Adepta Sororitas. If it's fake, we'll pay ten times over. To put it idealistically... is she a manifestation of the power of faith?"
Hearing this explanation from the "Imperial noble" with a Colonel's rank, the atheistic Grefax became somewhat annoyed.
"Colonel... Faith. If used well, it is humanity's greatest weapon. However, even the sharpest sword is limited by the one who wields it. When the sword of faith is tainted by evil, it causes more damage to The Emperor of Mankind's realm than all the treacherous daemons in the Warp combined. Therefore, those among us who claim to be the most holy must undergo the most rigorous trials."
After saying this, Grefax walked up to Celestine, looked up into the black eyes of Celestine, who was half a head taller than her... "Witch, until facts or science can explain all this... in my eyes, you are no different from those Warp scum."
Celestine remained expressionless, her gaze calmly meeting the Inquisitor's... Her mind was full of... "This Inquisitor looks good... right in my strike zone... What if I kissed her now...?"
However, Grefax was a powerful psyker; she typically used this ability to speed up interrogations until brains burned out.
Which means, our Inquisitor could read minds. At this moment, a strange image suddenly appeared in her mind: this very handsome "golden witch" in front of her suddenly placed both hands on her waist, pulling her closer, then lowered her head to her lips... Suddenly feeling these "blasphemous thoughts" in her mind, Grefax immediately recoiled, her face flushed and breathing heavily... For a moment, she couldn't distinguish whether what had just appeared in her mind were the thoughts of this so-called "Living Saint" or the influence of this strange xeno city.
Seeing Grefax suddenly clutching her chest and gasping for breath, Li Feng thought that perhaps she was feeling unwell after being imprisoned by the 'Handicraft King' for so long, so he stepped forward and asked:
"Inquisitor? Are you alright?"
Hearing Li Feng's concern, Grefax propped herself up, forcibly suppressing the panic she had just shown, and immediately asked:
"Colonel, now you are under my command. Tell me the current situation. And by the way, introduce yourself, you haven't earned my trust yet..."
Li Feng shrugged, then said: "We should be in the Drukhari / Dark Aeldari Webway city of Commorragh. The red-skinned, introverted man and I were thrown in here by a Warp portal... The Living Saint and Eldar friend over there are also my Eldar advisors, and they should be here to find me."
Hearing Li Feng's explanation, Grefax nodded and then said: "To have a so-called Living Saint come looking for you, and to have an Eldar advisor... Who are you? An Inquisitor? Adeptus Mechanicus? Under a High Lord...?"
"I am Li Feng..." Just as Li Feng was about to introduce himself, Celestine interjected in their conversation... (The following was conceived with the reader group members, and as a free novel, dear readers, you don't pay to read chapters. Writing this much only increases my own workload, so just take it as entertainment.)
